Mold refurbishment
Maintaining best-in-class preform quality
requires regular mold maintenance and
scheduled refurbishing programs. As a
mold ages under regular operating conditions, preform quality begins to diminish.
Husky offers a wide range of refurbishing
services to address this issue. These services can often be performed at customer
locations to reduce downtime and shipping expenses. More comprehensive
refurbishments can be performed at one
of our many local refurbishing facilities
around the world.
Mold conversion and lightweighting
The success of preform and bottle producers depends, in part, on having a partner
that helps take advantage of lightweight-
ing opportunities, thread conversions and
new preform and bottle designs. Husky
lightweighting and mold conversion services are designed to meet these needs in a
timely and cost-effective way. Husky is the
only moldmaker with the capacity to manage large-scale, market-wide programs
while still responding to the needs of customers who want to convert a single mold.
Husky’s in-house preform development
and prototyping capabilities simplify and
speed up the mold conversion process by
integrating the design and manufacturing of our production tools. This process
ensures that prototyping results can be
effectively repeated.
